Birthday Weekend

Wow!  What a fantastic 27th birthday!!!!  Growing up, I always caught grief on my birthday since it is April Fool's Day.  While I always had enjoyable birthdays, it still kinda sucked while in school.  I haven't really celebrated my birthday the past several years - we'd have cake, but never really did anything special.  My sister & her hubby (then either boyfriend or fiance) came to my apartment for my 21st birthday - but they were showing their old age - my sister fell asleep watching a movie.  It wasn't late.

Anyways, hubby & I really didn't do anything special for his birthday (exactly two weeks before mine).  And we really didn't have anything planned for mine - I was going to scrapbook the whole weekend.  Well, plans changed.  Or happened?  We made plans to go to the Boonshoft Museum in Dayton (great Children's museum!!) with some friends we have made (yes, we actually made friends!) from church.  We also invited them over after for some homemade pizza.  On Saturday, the Reds were having their Opening Night game.  I thought that would be soooooooooo much fun to go to.  I decided I would spend my birthday money from my parents and grandma on some good seats for the game.  My parents volunteered to come babysit for the evening so hubby and I could go.  We got dugout box seats, row H.  Which we thought, ok, row H would be row 8.  Turns out dugout box seats don't start at letter A because of the dugout.  We were in the THIRD ROW!  Right  behind the dugout.  Best seats either of us have EVER had.  The game was awesome - the Reds won, we each got a Reds Chiquita Banana blanket, and because it was the first night game there were fireworks after the game!  What an amazing date night - and a great way to celebrate both of our birthdays!!! We also pigged out, which was a nice treat. :)  So yay for an amazing birthday weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
